Gary Everhart General Rare find. Interesting "screen" in back of cab. Purpose?? 2/21/2014 5:38:09 AM
Chuck Zeiler General I don't know the official purpose, but the Nickel Plate had these also. I surmised that it was to keep the personnel from being pitched off the back porch in the event of a hard coupling or slack action. 2/21/2014 10:17:43 AM
